I am going to be playing in my second ever event and figured I'd throw out this question since you were all great help in my first event last month (2W-1L, 13 victory points! ).
Here is the scenario for this month: War of Light #5
DC Semi Constructed/Sealed
Saturday October 25, 2014
500 pt build...250 points must come from a constructed force. The other 250 points will come from your two War Of Light boosters. The 250 pt constructed force must first be written on your army sheet prior to the purchase of your two boosters and verified by me. You may use Silver Age (figures with character cards) and Modern Age figures on your constructed force (NO GOLDEN AGE). ALL figures on your constructed force MUST have either the Lantern or Tribe Keyword on its character card, regardless whether or not that or any character is being possessed by an Entity. NO EXCEPTION.
The Highlander Rule
This rule is in effect for your constructed force with the exception for minions and recruits. Those figures with the word "MINION" on their character card or "RECRUIT" in their name are EXEMPT from the Highlander Rule. If you pull any figure or figures from your sealed boosters that is the same as a figure or figures on your constructed force you MAY use that character.
Power Battery...
Your constructed force may contain a Power Battery if you choose to use one. No figure on your sealed force can be assigned anything from the Power Battery. Only the figures from your constructed force may be assigned the Power Battery along with the ring and its constructs. If you do not have a Power Battery, but have constructs, you may use them, but only as relics. The rules regarding relics will remain the same.
Entities...
ONLY ONE Entity is allowed on your constructed force. If a figure on your constructed force is possessed by an Entity, that figure cannot be assigned anything from the Power Battery. Only those figures (PRIME FIGURES) that COME WITH a construct may be assigned a construct from the Power Battery. If you pull an Entity from your two boosters, that Entity may only possess those figures constructed from the sealed boosters.
Of this course this goes without saying, but I will stress it anyway...no character, relic or resource may be used on any force without its card. Print and Play may be used if you lost the original card. There is NO exception to this rule. EVER.

Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated!
Katma Tui
LE John Stewart @ 95
Green Power Battery /w Green Ring and Crossbow/Nurse/Shield constructs
This gives you two strong ranged attackers who can also heal each other via Katma Tui's trait. If you don't care about the emotional spectrum ability of the green battery, you can use a different combination of constructs (the wall I think is the best overall construct).
Thanks! I'm not particularly concerned about the emotional spectrum trait unless somebody here says I absolutely need to run Violet or Green, since those are the only 2 I can guarantee getting use out of (will likely use the violet ring for mystic damage).
My only concern about your suggestion is being able to get a John Stewart LE to run. The venue didn't have him or the Guy Gardner LE when I played last month. Is there another line-up you would suggest just in case I can't get my hands on him?
Apparently I misread your list, and I thought you had the LE John Stewart instead of the Black Lantern version. In that case I'd recommend something like this:
Katma Tui
Guy Gardner (Star Sapphire)
Violet Power Battery /w Star Sapphire Ring and 20 points in constructs
Again, the constructs you end up using depends on your desire for the emotional spectrum ability. The range boost that it gives you can be useful, but you may instead want to go with different colored constructs (like the wall, again). The real strength of the battery in this instance is to give the stat boost to Guy Gardner and the Mystics/Shape Change combo to Katma Tui.
Awesome. Thanks for following up Neff. I'll try and become more familiar with their dials before the event.
I was also thinking Rond Vidar, BL Jon Stewart, Violet Battery and ring with violet constructs (thinking catapult and nurse) and attaching the white sniper rifle to Rond prior to the match, but I wasnt sure how effective that would be and if attaching the rifle prior to the start of the game would affect the emotional spectrum ability (pretty sure it doesn't but I'm about to cull the rules forum to double check).
Any other feedback or ideas you or anybody else could offer would be greatly appreciated as well
Just wanted to say thanks again, Neff! I ran SS Guy and Katma, the SS Battery with nurse and crossbow and I pulled Abin Sur prime, Salaak and an Indigo Tribe Recruit for the rest of my build. I ended up going 1W-2L with 250 victory points. So overall, considering my skill level, I feel it was a pretty successful outing. Thank you for all the advice!
